“Since the shooting in Parkland last year, I have gotten to know @AndrewPollackFL and his family, and I have been humbled to see their dedication to improving our state in honor of his daughter, Meadow,” Scott tweeted Monday. “I’m honored to have him as my guest at the #SOTU tomorrow night.”

“He’s become both a partner and a friend,” Scott said in a separate tweet. “I worked closely with Andy to pass the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, and I will continue to work with him and other Parkland parents to improve our schools and keep our students and teachers safe.”

Meadow Pollack was killed outside a locked women’s bathroom by shooter Nikolas Cruz, according to the report. The commission said her life, along with other students, could have been saved if they could use the “bathroom as a place of safety to avoid being shot.”

I am not doing this to get famous, I am doing this so no family ever again has to feel the way my family feels. There are no excuses! We must have proper security in every school in America! I will not stop until that is accomplished. We must #FixIt! #MeadowsMovementpic.twitter.com/Hz6v9S9vrI

Pollack was originally on the committee, but resigned June 2018 to focus on electing new Broward County Public School board members, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Scott appointed Pollack to Florida’s education board before finishing his second term as governor, The Associated Press reported. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, however, rejected Pollack along with several of Scott’s last-minute appointments.
